Associated PressPennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Pat Toomey, left, accompanied by U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., are seen at a media availability before a fundraiser in Philadelphia, Friday, Sept. 24, 2010.

The internet is having some fun with Sen. Scott Brown's so-called 'Pneumonia Speech,' delivered Monday on the floor of the senate.

Speaking on the topic of tax incentives to return overseas jobs to the U.S., Brown battled through pneumonia symptoms for 24 minutes. He earns full points for being a gamer, but unfortunately for Brown, his illness knocked him a bit off-message, as they say.

Bostonist called the speech "almost Seinfeldian in its nothingness," as Brown devoted significant chunk of time waxing poetic about, well, Scott Brown.

In his words, "I'm the 41st senator. I am."

Yep, we've got it, senator.

"I've been blessed," said Brown. "I am so honored to be here. You can't even imagine my life."

Never one to miss a beat, Huffington Post contributor Ben Craw edited a video combining Brown's speech with footage (and inimitable Marv Albert commentary) from Michael Jordan's famous "Flu Game" in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, which saw Jordan score 38 points while often appearing on the verge of collapsing.

Probably not our junior senator's finest hour. Still, you've got to give him credit for putting in the effort while in a work environment where many seem to have no qualms with playing hooky whenever possible. And there are worse things in the world than being compared to Michael Jordan, however sarcastically.
